If you’re scratching your head, thinking about engaging ways to explore shape with your Year 5 class – look no further! These five geometry lessons focus in-depth on some of the special properties of 2D and 3D shapes. Learning activities include how to: find missing angles; calculate inside angles; construct shapes accurately; tessellate polygons; construct polyhedrons; and how to make composite 3D models using 3D shapes with curved surfaces!

These downloadable lessons include detailed plans, slideshow presentations and printable teaching resources.

#Lesson1Rectangles

Learn about some special properties of quadrilaterals — rectangles, in particular — such as having opposite sides of equal length, parallel sides and equal angles. Children may then use this information to help them find missing lengths and angles inside and outside rectangles and composite rectilinear shapes.
